In yesterday's AWG, Canada misrepresented its commitments to reduce its GHG emissions by 45-65% by 2050 without stating the fact that these reductions are based on a 2003 base year and not 1990.  It should e noted that between 1990 and 2003 GHG emission in Canada increased by 24%.

pod 2    AUSTRALIA   aust

In yesterday's SBI Plenary, Australia stated that consideration should be given to small island developing states and that they did agree with the need to increase funding for adaptation.  HOWEVER, they mentioned that this should not compromise funding for CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage).

This place is shared by Kuwait and Saudi Arabia because they both suggested, in SBSTA yesterday, to delete the item on emissions from fuel used for international aviation and maritime transport.
